Finally somebody did this! ...almost...I can't get it to load my Scripts
file. It won't show anything in the Plugins file list.  Possibly a problem
with Nav Services on OS 8.1 and 9.0, there is a bug whereby it will not
work if using a typelist filter?  Only Folders and Volumes will get shown.
I had this problem here recently (and Ted Spencer). Typelist works fine in
8.6, but not in 8.1 or 9.0

Also, there is a PG problem with Nav Services or something, I have seen it
before in AP's Tracer betas, garbled text:
"There is a problem with Button # error, I couldn't locate the ST#
resource" error message that PG displays across the Nav Services dialog,
near the top right on top of the buttons there.

Anyway , looks nice, but non-functional on OS 8.1 with Nav Services. Maybe
you can disable that, and use a normal dialog, and the world will be free
free free.... :)

Or give the option to.

Looks spiff otherwise. I can send a screenshot of the problem text if you
need it.

The Filesplitter I posted was an evolution of M Kluskens, whose was an
evolution of that thing bird. Thanks for the kudos.

Al Staffieri mentioned doing one of these script helpers ages ago, no news
since.  Thanks.
